I tried this in a guitar center. the interface felt super slow and unresponsive. is this a problem with the kontrol or is it the computer?

The response is snappy, I would imagine it was the computer. I use mine with a Mac and Pc and it works well. It can take a second or two to initialize some sounds of you ha e the preview enabled, but it’s likely that the machine you saw was just not configured right.

how would you connect this to an AMP?

This is a keyboard "controller". It does not produce any sounds without external modules. In other words, you need to connect this device, via MIDI, to a device that produces sound, which would then be connected to an amplifier.

Does this work with FL studio?

Yes, it'll work with FL Studio. It's a controller. Just enable it in your midi settings in FL and open up Kontakt (which is the Native Instruments GUI with all the Native Instrument sounds) inside of FL Studio and play.

Can this work as a basic midi keyboard paired with a maschine MK3?

Yes. They work well together. I have both. One advantage to using this keyboard along with the MK3 is that, let's say you have a sound on one of the pads of MK3, regardless of the sound whether a snare or kick or key or bass, the moment you tap it on MK3 it appears across this keyboard as a playable sound from low to high.

A**O

Good

takes a minute to set up but once it gets going it feels good it plays good Fl studio compatability is there you can record play pause and even loop however its not as quick as it is in ableton, the workflow is much quicker in ableton because of session view which compliments live recording the software it comes with is actually pretty solid nothing great but for what you pay it comes with some great synthesizers and pianos

Great keyboard, awesome price

This is a fantastic piece of kit, and for the money (1800SEK) it's a no-brainer. It's really nice to use and feels great. I use it in tandem with my Maschine Mk3 and it's great to have the surface this keyboard offers. I just load up an instrument or sound on my Maschine, and can start playing on the A61 right away to get ideas out quickly. The fact that it has some great controls is a plus as the knobs for example allows you to adjust macros very easily. Nothing but good things to say about this honestly.

Ottimo prodotto

Ordinato ed arrivato il giorno dopo... il prodotto è veramente ottimo già provato con Ableton Live... lo consiglio vivamente come consiglio il rivenditore per la serietà e la velocità nel spedire.

Bella e affidabile

La utilizzo con Cubase e FL Studio... assolutamente perfetta. Viene riconosciuta subito dal sistema e permette di utilizzare tutti i VST senza alcun problema. Si alimente direttamente dalla porta USB e i controlli sono assegnabili. Robusta e ben costruita. Anche esteticamente rende l'idea di uno strumento professionale. Consigliata.
